Good luck. I've been real quiet, can't make sense of things. Been busy too
Thanks
Good luck. I haven't made a trade in a few weeks.
I'm sure the big lobbyist Costello was set it up with booked the tv news interview
"Costello, its chairman and CEO, was in Tallahassee last week to meet with state financial regulators “strictly as a courtesy.” (As a bank, his firm is federally chartered and not regulated by the state, he says.)
Accompanying him on that visit was Jeff Sharkey and Taylor Biehl of the Medical Marijuana Business Association of Florida, “facilitating an introduction to state policymakers,” as Sharkey put it."

No authority cared until millions of dollars had been lost. Many here found out very quickly by checking with Washington state and other authorities that it was a house of cards. Certainly the noted lobbyist who took Costello on the Florida tour and got him on tv in 2018 had to find it out early. Some of the people appointed to his "advisory board" in 2019 had to figure it out quickly. But none of them raised red flags. Maybe they were in on it. Criminal case will be telling.

We've been concentrating on ffly but bizjetmobile taking off too. This article from 10/5/2022 on runwaygirlnetwork.com
"Following the commissioning in the USA of BizjetInternet on a Gulfstream G450, the first production system has been delivered to Europe for installation this month.
BizjetMobile’s CEO Adam Chapman said: “We now have orders for new installations in the USA and Europe. Some are for fleet operators, who have been waiting for a cost-effective Internet solution.
“With over 100 hours of flight testing on the G450, we have clearly validated the benefits of BizjetInternet. If you want to cut your Wi-Fi bills by up to 95%, have your crew and passengers connected the entire flight with unlimited data and control Internet access, BizjetMobile has the solution.”
Today’s modern mobile phones consume a huge amount of Wi-Fi data. BizjetInternet eliminates the issue by accessing the Internet using the BizjetInternet app. When combined with Iridium Certus Midband, you are able to decide when you activate Wi-Fi and what services you allow to connect.
Passengers and crew can stay connected the entire flight using BizjetMobile’s unlimited Bluetooth texting services and only switch to Wi-Fi if they need it. Shutting down Wi-Fi and background activity eliminates bill shock.
BizjetMobile offer two unique Iridium platforms. CHiiMP, an entry level messaging platform starts from a low $9,999 plus, $399 per month for unlimited data. BizjetInternet, our ultra-low-cost Internet system, $24,990 plus $599 per month for unlimited Email, SMS and WhatsApp texting; there is no better deal.
If you own an existing Iridium telephone phone system, or Inmarsat SwiftBroadband system, or are looking for a new installation, then contact BizjetMobile to find out how easy it is to upgrade.
About BizjetMobile:
Formed in 2014, BizjetMobile is a division of the ASI group. BizjetMobile’s solutions are also the forerunner to ASIP Tech Inc’s (Ticker Code: IPTK) world’s first Bluetooth airline passenger free texting solution called fflya, recently selected by Wizz Air. The core messaging services were pioneered globally by BizjetMobile, creating an ultra-low-cost connectivity solution for private and corporate jets.
BizjetMobile’s industrial team ASiQ Australia, is an approved Iridium Value Added Developer, Inmarsat Connect Partner and SITA Swiftbroadband reseller. The ASI group has over three decade of inflight connectivity experience and created the world’s first hybrid Bluetooth Wi-Fi aircraft connectivity platform. The only significant change in inflight connectivity in 20 years.

Nice win Red!
It's all gone. The court injunction order was from 2020
"After reviewing defendants’ response to the Court’s inquiries about the status of plaintiffs’
funds, see Dkt. No. 151, the Court has serious concerns that defendants have not complied with
the preliminary injunction order. The injunction prohibited Pacific Banking Corp. (PBC), Justin
Costello, and GRN Funds, LLC, “and their officers, agents, servants, employees and attorneys,
and any other persons in active concert or participation with them,” from (i) “using, drawing
down, transferring or in any way reducing the funds deposited with PBC by CCSAC, Inc. or
CANN Distributors, Inc. without their express consent;” and (ii) “[d]eleting, destroying, editing,
or in any way altering any records relating to plaintiffs’ deposits, including without limitation all
transaction and deposit balance records.”
By court order, and under penalty of perjury, Costello was required to state what of the marijuana company's money was held in PBC/GRN/Costello bank account(s) as of 9/9/2022. Costello claimed $2,923,858.13 as of 9/9/2022. The indictment states what was in the checking account as of 9/9 was $15.35.
Ah, the great Dorothy Parker. Others:

Pretty sure they know. See what I hilited below
Costello indictment available as Exhibit A in document 159 of the CANN/CCSAC court case.
Interesting reading. By court order, and under penalty of perjury, Costello was required to state what of the marijuana company's money was held in PBC/GRN/Costello bank account(s) as of 9/9/2022. Costello claimed $2,923,858.13. The indictment states what was in the checking account as of 9/9 was $15.35.
It describes multiple coordinated misinformation pump and dump schemes coordinated by Costello involving DCGD/GRNF, RVDO/HPST, RMSL, CLSI, FTXP. He requested and paid for twitter pumping by an individual who's initials are given in the indictment. Hundreds of tweets were made, for which Costello paid the twitter pumper over $35,000. Others are mentioned by their initials, including one who was instructed by Costello to take a moderator position for RVDO on a "public message board."
He also defrauded public investors by touting his "GRN Holding" but selling them shares in his private Washington GRN Holding, not the Nevada publicly traded GRN Holding
Good one, thanks. I'm not the biting kind though

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
CCSAC, INC., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
PACIFIC BANKING CORP, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 20-cv-02102-JD
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
After reviewing defendants’ response to the Court’s inquiries about the status of plaintiffs’
funds, see Dkt. No. 151, the Court has serious concerns that defendants have not complied with
the preliminary injunction order. The injunction prohibited Pacific Banking Corp. (PBC), Justin
Costello, and GRN Funds, LLC, “and their officers, agents, servants, employees and attorneys,
and any other persons in active concert or participation with them,” from (i) “sing, drawing
down, transferring or in any way reducing the funds deposited with PBC by CCSAC, Inc. or
CANN Distributors, Inc. without their express consent;” and (ii) “[d]eleting, destroying, editing,
or in any way altering any records relating to plaintiffs’ deposits, including without limitation all
transaction and deposit balance records.” Dkt. No. 23 at 1.
Defendants were directed to file a declaration under penalty of perjury certifying
compliance with the preliminary injunction order. Dkt. No. 148 at 2. The declaration was to state
where the funds subject to the preliminary injunction order are located, including (i) the name and
address of the financial institution, (ii) the type of account being used, (iii) the full and exact
account number, and (iv) the balance of the funds as of September 9, 2022. Id.
The declaration defendants filed did not provide these basic facts. Among other shortfalls,
it did not identify the exact location or balance of plaintiffs’ funds. It says the funds are in an “aggregated account” with Sound Credit Union, and the balance is “at least $2,923,858.13 for
funds within that account that are attributable to Plaintiffs.” Dkt. No. 151 ¶¶ 3, 7 (emphasis
added). It says the approximately $1 million discrepancy between this number and the amount of
funds shown in the purported bank statements attached as exhibits is “the 2020 requested tax
payment at issue, which has yet to be reconciled.” Id. ¶ 7. This does not adequately describe the
location or balance of all of plaintiffs’ funds that were subject to the preliminary injunction order.
The declaration also raised questions about the genuineness of the bank statements
defendants attached as exhibits to the declaration. Defendants say the exhibits are “a true and
correct copy of PBC’s client-account portal statements.” Id. But when compared to similar
statements from January and February 2021 submitted by plaintiffs, it appears that defendants
removed the PBC letterhead. See Dkt. No. 152-1, Ex. A. Plaintiffs say the redacted account
numbers in the exhibits do not correspond with the account numbers disclosed by defendants’
counsel, and the phone number on the exhibits is not in service. Id. ¶ 2.
Defendants appear to have misrepresented that plaintiffs have access to the account
statements. The declaration says “[t]hroughout this action and including today, each Plaintiff has
access to this same portal, and this same information.” Dkt. No. 151 ¶ 7. Plaintiffs say that they
cannot access the portal, that defendants’ banking website is inactive, and that they have not
received any bank statements from defendants since 2021. Dkt. No. 153 ¶¶ 2-3.
Consequently, defendants are ordered to show cause why they should not be held in civil
contempt for violating the preliminary injunction order. An evidentiary hearing on defendants’
compliance is set for October 18, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 11 of the San Francisco
courthouse. The Court expects that defendant Justin Costello will be prepared to testify on the
compliance measures defendants undertook. Defendants may call other witnesses as they wish,
and will disclose the identity and testimony areas of such witnesses to plaintiffs no later than
October 11, 2022. Plaintiffs will examine the witnesses first, followed by defendants. Each side
will file examination exhibits by October 11, 2022.

New revenue stream for IPTK, along with the ongoing tours, bookings, ads.
Important points to note:
1. Frees up cabin crew
AS-IP integrated the Wizz Air Food and Boutique menu into the fflya messaging app. Passengers with the app were able to place an order and pay directly, receiving a receipt in real time. Previously the crew would process the transaction
2. Costs the airline nothing
Under the recently expanded three-year deal with Wizz Air, AS-IP will cover the cost of delivering the solution. The companies agreed to a revenue sharing model that allows AS-IP to recoup its investment based on utilization of the on-board services
3. Easy installation, no lengthy downtime for the aircraft.
"Realtime credit card processing is now available on the fflya platform, extending the capabilities of the Bluetooth-based inflight connectivity solution. The service was demonstrated on a Wizz Air A321 as part of the ongoing deployment trial with that carrier.
"The fflya live Transact program is both PCI compliant and has Two Factor authentication, replacing the outdated method of caching credit cards onboard and downloading after the flight."
– Ron Chapman ASIP CEO
To demonstrate the transaction processing capabilities AS-IP integrated the Wizz Air Food and Boutique menu into the fflya messaging app. Passengers with the app were able to place an order and pay directly, receiving a receipt in real time. Previously the crew would process the transaction on board in an offline state, caching the details until the plane landed and could batch upload the details for processing.
With the real time processing airlines dramatically reduce risk of fraudulent transactions on board. The lightweight solution uses a small, window-mount antenna which connects to the Iridium NEXT network. A single Bluetooth 5 access point on board supports all client connections. This architecture reduces airline costs compared to traditional IFC solutions by avoiding larger, heavier, external terminal installations.
The flfya implementation also includes a crew module to receive and process the order. The CrewX app can also perform full point of sale transaction processing, including the same credit card authorizations, over the same lightweight link.
The fflya platform delivers free inflight text messaging to passengers, as well as interactive promotions, especially around tours and activities at the destination. The messaging uses fflya’s bespoke interface, which raises questions around adoption and access to third party applications, especially if multi-factor authentication is enabled.
Under the recently expanded three-year deal with Wizz Air, AS-IP will cover the cost of delivering the solution. The companies agreed to a revenue sharing model that allows AS-IP to recoup its investment based on utilization of the on-board services. The deal calls for AS-IP to “provide its fflya system for 19 of WIZZs United Kingdom based A320 and A321 aircraft under the previously agreed revenue sharing arrangement.”
Taking a cut of the credit card transactions in exchange for processing them in real time is likely a more stable revenue stream for AS-IP than commissions on tours or hotels sold during the flights, albeit at much smaller dollar amounts. The company expects a combination of the two revenue streams to offset the cost of developing and deploying the fflya platform on board."
